Process 4.1 European Co-ordination The Parties signing this MoU will interact through a European Co-ordination Platform to co­ordinate their activities by bringing together all relevant stakeholders. Provided sufficient funds can be made available, the co-ordination platform will include studies on the economics underlying the introduction and the drafting of a road map at European level. The European Commission is the appropriate body to determine the platform to be used for this European Co-ordination. Currently the Driving Group on eCall within the eSafety Forum is the appropriate platform, but the co-ordination may take another form in subsequent years to support implementers and monitor progress of implementation across Europe. However, such co­ordination should continue to be under the auspices of the eSafety Forum. 4.2 Status of the Memorandum of Understanding This MoU summarises the current intentions of the different Parties signing this MoU. It will form the basis for action by each of the Parties according to their respective roles. However, nothing in this MoU legally obliges any Party to any other Party. Also, this MoU does not affect the rights (including intellectual property rights) of any Party to material or services supplied by them as part of the in-vehicle eCall chain. This MoU recognises that all Parties carry their own risks and costs in providing, carrying and handling the in-vehicle eCall initiative. 4.3 Review of this MoU For this MoU to provide an effective framework for co-operation active participation of all sectors concerned is required. Progress on implementation and business planning by all Parties concerned will be reviewed when appropriate. However, first review should take place not later than after 12 months following the signature of the MoU. When appropriate the Parties, will consider the need for improvements in their co-operation and make and introduce suitable proposals for modification or termination to this MoU.
